Electric Outboards
At ESEA Propulsion we are dedicated to the design and development of new generation 100% electric nautical propulsion systems. The company was founded on the island of Menorca in 2021 by a small group closely linked to the nautical sector, the transition to electric mobility and entrepreneurial development.
Vision
We want to be a global player in nautical electrification and decarbonization through the invention, patent and development of a new 100% electric propeller that offers greater power in less space.
